The market is flooded with globe lights right now!" --Lisa McDennon, Lisa McDennon Design/ Hinkley "Moving forward, I think we will continue to see black emerge as a popular finish in lighting. It plays well in all sorts of looks that are resonating with various design styles, from modern farmhouse to sleek and chic, to even clean transitional. Another popular design element is colored glass pendant fixtures. We are seeing smoke, slate gray glass with blueish undertones that can work with many different design schemes.
